The trumpet is a beautiful instrument ... are you focused on classical, jazz? I do not know your town, but I hope they have a group there to join where you can continue to play. I agree with the other members, too, in that it is ok to support yourself with other things to get by while still focusing on your Plan A / true love.

(my family told me I would be a failure with my dream career and I bought into it...low confidence my brother was told skies the limit and they totally supported his goals, and he is incredibly successful. If I knew then, what I know now...I definitely would not have given them the power cut me down to nothing. I have a life coach now that is helping me a lot! Perhaps you can look into that, as well. It comes down to believing in yourself in spite of )

(Ps, I was buddies with a now very well-known actor (in college). He certainly didnt start out being the person everyone knows now! And never in a million years could we have predicted ... but he believed and stuck to his dream)
